How’s this for a super festive shade? Designer Jo Allport has come up with a cosy knit in a brilliant postbox red hue. It’s got cables too so
is a real timeless wardrobe staple. Cables are quite straightforward to work, you just switch the order of certain groups of stitches. See our Knitwise panel (overleaf) for more advice on how to master this classic technique.

“This cardigan is knitted in a fabulous red colour, just great for brightening up a winter day. The yarn has a lovely feel from its alpaca and merino mix and it shows off the cable pattern beautifully.”
